Withdrawals?
The nasty, misty, chitty winter weather has started. I've lived her long enough to know this is here to stay for six months, with days of sunny but cold air in between. Already having withdrawals. Started the S-Glide up tonight just to let her warm up and smell the exhaust. I think it's about time to start the winter mods to get my mind off the rides....:(

Sorry to hear about your weather. It was 55 degrees here today and riding was great!
|
I feel for you nothern riders- I couldn't do it.
|
A beer fridge full of suds, toolbox full of tools, cable TV, and a pooltable in the grudge helps. It's my man cave. When I'm not wrenching the bike then I'm playing pool or darts, looking at the latest parts catalog, or checking out a movie. It gets you through it.

I also found out my company serves the Florida Keys. Once the kids grow up and move out I might try and convince the wife I need to do a transfer. Might get on the waiting list now however....

Your in Southern Indiana. You can ride in the winter. It's not that bad here. Hell, in January and Febuary a day in the 40's feels pretty warm with thermal underwear.

Temps in the 40's standing still is more like low 30's when you're on a bike and moving at speed. I've done that and it's not fun. If the temps are in the 50's and clear skies, I make damn sure I'm back at home by the time the sun goes down. Nothing to hold the heat in and it just dissipates as quickly as it warmed up. I had that experience this past weekend when I ride to Charlotte, NC. A 2hr ride from where I am and by the time I got back home, I was frozen to the bone and had ample clothing on.

My whole withdrawal is from planning the ride around the weather. Had that urge to ride tonight and old man winter is teasing us.:eek: |
Invest in electric gear. Best investment I ever made! I've ridden in the 30's comfortably. Never thought that possible!
